There are many ways to use tallow other than a standard moisturizer, though that's a great place to start! FIRST know that a little goes a long way…always start with a pea-size amount.
James Co. tallow creams are made with the perfect blend of grass-fed and finished tallow, USDA organic 100% pure extra virgin olive oil, and our scented ones are infused with 100% USDA organic steam-distilled essential oils. Pure extra virgin olive oil has similar benefits and nutrients as grass-fed & finished tallow such as antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties, vitamins A, D, E, K, along with cleansing and healing properties. Our essential oils also have their own added benefits depending on which oil is used. The uses and benefits below are amplified with our blend because not all tallow is created equal!
DAILY FACE MOISTURIZER FOR ALL AND AN AFTERSHAVE FOR MEN: James Co. whipped tallow creams are nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging, helping with fine lines, wrinkles, razor irritation, as well as many skin conditions like acne and eczema. Put a little the tips on your fingers, rub your fingers together, dab or rub onto face. You can dab it onto the skin under your eyes to prevent fine lines & wrinkles but don’t get it too close to your eyes. Your life will be changed and the skin on your face will feel amazing and glow.
AFTER-LEG-SHAVE FOR WOMEN: WOW! This is really a game changer from any chemical-laden, store-bought moisturizer. Your legs and bikini line will feel smooth and silky for at least two days. It also prevents and heals razor burn. Rub James Co. whipped tallow cream into your hands and spread evenly onto your legs and bikini area after shaving.
HEAL YOUR HEELS—SOCK TRICK: Rub your feet with a decent amount of James Co. Whipped Tallow Cream, put your socks on for a few hours or overnight and unbelievable…so soft. We’ve seen it heal cracks after doing this for 3-5 days. Ladies – wearing heels or going barefoot are a killer, treat your feet well.
MAKEUP REMOVAL: James Co. whipped tallow creams have rich, fatty nature and other beneficial nutrients that break down and melt away makeup. Apply to small amount to your face and remove with a warm washcloth (washable makeup microfiber cloths work even better). Follow with a gentle cleanser if desired. Non-citrus scents or unscented are best for this use.
PREGNANCY: This is not a stretch! James Co. grass-fed & finished whipped tallows can help reduce stretch marks throughout your pregnancy; start early and use it every day. The key to this is to make it routine and please don’t use other lotions that have chemicals in them! Rub our tallow cream on your belly area every single day throughout your pregnancy (as start as soon as you know, it will prepare the elasticity in your skin). Your skin will be naturally moisturized as it slowly and slightly stretches every day. After you give birth, keep using it for a couple months as it also helps restore your belly skin more quickly to its natural state.
BABY LOTION REPLACEMENT: Say goodbye to diaper rash without the toxins! UNSCENTED is the ONLY recommendation for babies and the quality of the tallow matters. James Co. whipped tallow cream is a great way for added vitamins like A, D, E & K and essential fatty acids (though food nutrients are key), as well as protecting your baby’s skin from free-radical scavengers in the environment. Your baby’s skin is sensitive to chemicals so skip store-bought versions and choose James Co. grass-fed and finished tallow.
LIP MOISTURIZER: Have you ever noticed that many lip balms and chap sticks make feel like you need to apply it more frequently? It is because most contain ingredients like menthol, phenol, or waxes that actually dry out your lips. This creates a cycle where you feel the need to reapply to combat the dryness these lip balms and chap sticks cause; it’s purposeful so you purchase more. Grass-fed and finished tallow cream breaks that cycle, making your lips feel soft and moisturized. Unscented or non-citrus scents for some people is best for this application.
AFTER TATTOO CARE: Thanks to its rich fatty acid content which closely resembles the skin's natural oils, tallow is a natural moisturizer that deeply hydrates the skin, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. It also has antimicrobial properties that protect your skin from free-range radicals in the environment. Always choose high-quality, grass-fed and finished tallow to ensure purity and avoid potential contaminants. Unscented is best.
DRY-ENDS HAIR REPAIR: Rub a tiny amount of tallow between your palms and apply it to the tips of your hair. Leave on for 20–30 minutes (or overnight with a shower cap) and then wash as usual. Some use it as a full hair mask.
SCALP MASSAGE: A gentle tallow scalp massage with James Co. whipped tallow will help with dryness or flaking. We love our rosemary whipped tallow for this use.
NAIL STRENGTHENING & CUTICLE SOFTENING: Vitamins E and K found in grass & finished tallow support healthier nails over time. Massage into your cuticles before a manicure or anytime.
POST-SWIM OR AFTER-BEACH HYDRATION BOOST: After you shower post-swim or a day at the beach, hydrate your skin with James Co. grass-fed and finished tallow cream. It will lock in the moisture and deeply rehydrated your skin with all the beneficial nutrients.
ELBOWS & KNEES: Game changer, that’s all. Rub it right on those.
BACK OF YOUR HANDS: Don’t neglect this area! Besides your face, the back of your hands is the most exposed area to the elements, toxins, and plain old hard work. The skin on the back of your hands is thin and ages quickly, so rub a tiny bit on the back of your hands daily.
CREPEY SKIN UNDERNEATH YOUR ARMS (not armpit): Nobody wants this. Rub a little James Co. whipped tallow on this area and you might actually feel like a new person in a couple weeks. This also helps with elasticity when you are losing weight because James Co. grass-fed and finished tallow is most bio-identical to your skin’s natural oils and is repairing.
As with any skin product, don’t use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients and please don’t eat it (silly but I think we have to say that part out loud).
